We had a guy buy one of our old Challenge 305 cutters. We had it sitting on our dock and he handled the loading into his truck. He got one of the guys in a neighboring building to pick it up with a forklift and set it into the truck. He lifted it, with wood for cushion, by placing the fork under...

We do some 12 page newsletters like this every month and have always hand folded them down to 5.5"x8.5". We use 70# Gloss Text.

Thank you Chock. We are getting the same behavior and the same error as the original poster.

I saw the above piece of equipment for sale the other day and had a silly question. What does this type of stitcher/collater do that our Duplo and Plock can't? They are enormous, so I am guessing there must be some real advantages to them to justify all the extra space they take up.

Randolph is quoting us $61/M for 3part.

I will check with Randolph. We had been using Veritiv and Guys E Paper.

That is our cost for 1M sheets or 333 sets of blank paper.

For years we have outsourced the majority of our carbonless work because the specialty shop will do the whole job for less than we pay for the paper. I just wondered if everyone else was doing the same. Even on 2,000 3-part 8.5x11 forms we can't afford to run it in house just because of what we...

So many evenings spent pulling files apart trying to find what was causing the postscript error on our Linotronic. Hoping the flashing number on the RIP would go to a . . 3, which indicated it was printing. Postscript level 1. Not ready for prime time.

We used packaging tape on our 2100 and it runs envelopes like a champ. :)

I can't believe how many low mileage presses are being sold. You can get good 2 color replacements all day long for very little money. My point being that even if we had to replace it, the cost wouldn't really raise our cost much considering how long they last.

What kind of power line filter is recommended? We need one.

Have have seen hourly rates for 4-color presses, but how do others go about pricing smaller presses that are old? We have a couple of small presses that are 20+ years old that we run regularly and I am wondering how others price these. Another nearby print shop seems to treat them like they are...

After more than a year with our Ricoh printers, there is only one thing that still bugs me about them vs our Xerox V2100. That is the refolding of #10 envelopes. When we run #10s they are refolded so that when you look at the finished envelope the new fold is slightly into the flap at the tail...

You could just send PDF/X-1 CMYK files to the RIP. Having had lots of RIPs from the bustled to the top of the line on machines, I wouldn't ever consider the bustled. It doesn't save that much and the reliability is lacking compared to the external Fierys. The one and only bustled Fiery we had...

We don't have the equipment to perfect bind and farming it out costs quite a bit more. The press isn't any cheaper with all the plates and having to collate.

4,200 qty.

I secretly hoped the bid being quite a bit higher would help, but they have the money. I will suggest the colored edge blocks. I have seen those, but hadn't thought of suggesting it. Originally they were going to plasticoil bind them, which would make life easier for us, but then switched to...

Our largest client has decided to change their monthly catalog from a basic saddle stitched booklet to something more complicated. We currently print these digitally, 2-up pre-collated then trim and hand feed into our Plockmatic booklet maker. Now they are switching to saddle stitched books with...
